Carrot, Ginger Lemon Soup

So, the weather's not getting any better and I never know what to eat when I get home super late from the gym. So I thought i'd make a big pot of soup which will hopefully last me for the week.... Hadn't thought about my parents eating it too so I'll probably be making a new batch of soup soon :) The soup was okay to make. I've never really made soup before let alone with a double portion recipe, 1 kilo of carrots and cutting up 1 1/2 onions... The end result though was delicious.I followed a recipe that I found online, though I must say I did whatever I wanted :pHere's the list of ingredients:- 2 tablespoons of oil (to fry the onion in)- Around 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh ginger- 3 small garlic cloves (my garlic press didn't work so I just chopped it up real small)- 1 kilo peeled and chopped carrots- 5 small tomatoes, chopped- grated lemon peel- 3 cups of veggie stock- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juiceInstructions:-> chop up everything so you're nice and prepared.-> heat up the oil and simmer the onions --- then add the ginger and garlic-> once it smells good at the chopped carrots, tomatoes and lemon peel-> saute for a bit then add the broth mix :) -> put a lid on the pot and let cook on low heat for about 20-25 minutes (till the carrots are fully cooked)-> Lastly puree it all together if you please :)I had a couple of spoons of the soup normally and I have to say I think it tastes better pureed as all the tastes are blended together :)
